Mental health psycho-social support

(Mental) Health psycho-social support (MHPSS) is the application of both physical health and mental health best practices in humanitarian crisis and social development.[1]

It is currently the World Health Organization (WHO) open standard for community health, which led the Mental Health Innovation Network to create a series of guides with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.[2]

Based on that, the United Nations Education Science Culture Organization (UNESCO) developed MHPSS education in emergency (EiE) open educational resources (OER)[3] and Trinity College a microcredential course on the field.[4]
